Although the most talked about confrontation of the moment is
between Silva and Georges St-Pierre, the fans have made it clear
that their ideal fight would be the Brazilian against Jon Jones, the
UFC light heavyweight king. To Distak, the strategy for beating
Jon
Jones is still unknown due to one reason.

"Actually, we have not seen Jon Jones on
his back,” Distak said. “Vitor (Belfort) got his arm; he had the
opportunity. Actually Jones is unpredictable. To me the strategy to
do a fight with him would involve finding out how he fights on his
back."

Distak also discussed the possibility of an Octagon meeting between
Silva and X-Gym teammate Souza, which could become a reality if
Strikeforce shuts down following its Jan. 12 event as expected. In
a recent interview, Souza said that making such a bout happen would
depend on the feelings of the “Spider.” However, Distak revealed
that the two fighters had a conversation and decided together that
it would be impossible.

"I can guarantee you that it will never happens because we have an
honor code. None of the top fighters will fight each other.” Distak
said. “Jacaré and Anderson already had a long talk after Jacaré
gave that interview, and they decided together that this fight will
never happen. Team Nogueira and X-Gym will never face each other.
It´s totally impossible for Rafael Feijão to face (Antonio
Rogerio Nogueira), Jacare to face Anderson or (Junior dos
Santos) to face (Antonio
Rodrigo Nogueira). Our honor code says that betrayers don't
stay in our team. "

On the subject of Erick Silva,
Distak said the loss to Jon Fitch at
UFC 153 came at the right time. Since the Brazilian is still early
in his career, the setback was easier to handle. Moreover, the
coach also revealed a desire for a rematch between his athlete and
the American.

"Jon
Fitch again. This is the next opponent I wanted again. But this
time I assure you it would be different," Distak said, comparing
Erick
Silva to St. Pierre, who was also defeated early in his road to
a UFC title. “The most significant evolution of GSP’s career
happened when he was beaten by Matt Serra.
I´m sure the same will happen to Erick.”
